Although no directive has come from the government on diesel price hike, stocks in the oil & gas shot up after petroleum ministry authorised oil marketing companies (OMC) to make fuel price corrections from time to time. The OMCs are expected to make a price-hike announcement tonight. It also allowed raising LPG subsidy cap to 9 cylinders from 6 cylinders earlier. The Finance Minister made it clear that will be no change in governement's subsidy plan.
